I actually just changed docs myself and fell into the same situation. He ran tests that I didn't even know I needed. I was young and trusted my first one and they strung me along with a lot of empty promises happily taking my money. It's amazing what a difference there can be in care. I looked up a chart on my AMH and mine was extremely low even for a 40 year old. One thing I didn't ask was how long I have to do this but all the research I have done indicates I need to do this fast. I am far too young for this but I am thankful that I met my husband young enough that there is still time to try. I think part of me is afraid to skip IUI and go to IVF, what if it doesn;t work, that's it. Thanks so much for sharing, our situations sound very similar. Congrats in your twins.View Thread

Thanks for your reply and congrats. The IVF deal is for 3 fresh cycles, seperate charges for frozen. My heart is conflicted right now but I do have two months to decide, he wants me to take the metformin for a while. I guess it might be worth a try to see if I respond to the injectables with IUI. Thanks again.View Thread

Thanks for the advise. My doctor did say that he felt that IVF is our best option with all of my issues but that IUI w/injectables was worth a try if I wanted to. The deal for IVF is for 3 fresh cycles. Doing frozen embryo transfer in between makes sense. I guess when I run out of money I just move to a state where IVF insurance coverage is required. . Thanks fo replying you have given me some things to think about.View Thread

I am 24 and my husband and I have been TTC for 4 years. Recently found out that my AMH is .41 and my follicle count is between 3-5 a month on the only ovary that I have. Doc says my Uterus looked fine so thats a plus. I have done clomid w/trigger shots several times and I do not respond to clomid. My husbands testing all fine. I am faced with deciding between attempting IUI w/gonadotropin injectables which will cost us around $3,500 a month and hoping I respond to it or IVF which is much more costly. My dilemma is that we can only afford to try so many things so many times. I really have to pick the right one. Recently started on metformin because I am also insulin resistant. Anyone been through IUI and IVF can provide some advise as to what kind of information I should be considering in making my decision. Also if we do IVF our doc has a 100% money gaurantee and you pay for 3 tries at a discount, does it make chances more likely trying one month after the other or doe sit matter?View Thread

I am almost 24 and my husband and I were TTC for over 2 years on our own and about a year ago started seeking answers to why we had not. It seems that I have spent the last year getting my hopes up, then new issues arise. I have had a cyst on my left ovary since I was about 15 years old, was put on BC and always told to come back in 6 months everytime they saw it was still there. 9 years later doctors are still telling me that it is too small and should not be affecting my infertility. I have heard rumors that a lot of woman get pregnant shortly after a cyst is gone. Has anyone experienced this first hand? I am basically searching for a glimor of hope here. The clomid cycles, that were unsuccessful in producing ovulation to the max dose fed my cyst and made it too large, found this out on my teaching visit for IVF. The ultrasound I had that day to check follicles, they could not locate my right ovary and at this point unclear as to if it is there or just hiding I guess. IVF was suppose to bypass all my tubal issues (L tube is good, R tube may have been cut in a childhood surgery) and my doc seemed hopeful. Now I am currently on Aygestin to shrink the cyst and just hoping that something goes right. Most likely rambling but just have so much to say and it is hard to find people around who understand and have more to say than "it will happen for you". Oh how I hate that!View Thread
